Before you answer why...the shock won't hit the front tower if you flip the top shock bushings around... :wink:

Very Blue T2... 8)

RC Chick.. I love the blue look of this car.. very hot!

I'm thinking I need a T2 in my collection soon, I was flicking through a magazine the other day and laughed at the T2 adverts showing Cliff Lett in front of a computer - how lame does that old CAD program look? :lol:

I'm not a truck guy, but I must reognize that your blue T2 is teasing me a lot. Very nice job!

I had never used the RPM arms so I had no Idea how they went. If I move it in between I don't have a screw long enough, Is there supposed to be a spacer or something? How should it mount?

Temple I think I know what you mean, I'll try that but for now it isn't rubbing on the shock tower.

Nice truck, I love the blue theme.
If there is too much space between the uprights on the front lower shock mount you probably have the small style ball end.
you could use these from AE:

or the delrin equivalent from RPM:

Will a T3 body fit on a T2?

I was told no but I am going to give it try. The LHS has ordered me one to see what we can do with it. I doubt it will fit. Ten people or more have told me it won't but I have to see why it won't.

I like it!
I might have to play w/ my spare T2 chassis I have. Figure out a color for it.

for what it's worth..................

i don't have a t2, but i do have a 10t and a t3. my t3 body fits very nicely on my 10t with taller rear mounts. with how similar the 10t and t2 are, you'd think a t3 body would fit on a t2. the t2 rear tower seems taller, though. so, that may be an issue.

by the way rc chick, you have your rear body mounts upside down. the post itself should sit on the smooth side of the mount. :wink:
